St. Petersburg assembles strong heavyweight team 20 years after Red Devil

An analysis highlights that St. Petersburg has assembled its strongest heavyweight fighter team since the legendary Red Devil gym 20 years ago. The current roster includes Kirill Kornilov (18-3), Alexander Maslov (12-1), Anton Vinnikov (18-5), Daniil Matsola (7-0), Artem Dushenko (6-3 at 93kg), Dmitry Baboryko (2-0), Denis Goltsov (36-9), and regular training camp participant Anton Vyazigin (17-6). Most of these fighters compete in ACA, which the author notes means inevitable losses due to high competition levels. However, those who succeed in building strong records in ACA can be considered world-class fighters. Two upcoming interesting matchups are highlighted: Kirill Kornilov vs Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having developed professionally in St. Petersburg.
